Anyone got slow browsing again?

[#1]

It was fine for a few days. I've just done a speed test and got over 3.5mb, but it seems like browsing is taking an age.  At least pages on the likes of FB, Ebay, BBC etc (all the usual suspects) take upto a minute to load. 
Is it just me this time? Or are we having issues with the akamai hosted stuff again?

[#2]

Seems to be all OK here..

[#3]

slowest BBC was less than 6 seconds

[#4]

BBC News front page loading in 4.3 secs, Ebay 1.83 secs on Unlimited product.
Cant see anything up from this side.

[#5]

Yes, I noticed it starting to slow down from about 3.30 this afternoon. It's not as bad as it has been lately, but I think the Akamai throttling is more noticeable than it has been for a few days. eBay/BBC News/Guardian all slow.

[#6]

BBC less than 6 seconds, Guardian News less than 10 seconds

[#7]

Yeah, after all the crap over the past month I thought it had finally been sorted.  Had normal speeds again for the past few days, yet today the speed is absolutely dire again.  Websites are taking ages to load and timing out, images aren't displaying and the download speed is shit!

Guys
What gateway are you using http://usertools.plus.net/@gateway/
I'm using You are currently connected to the "City Lifeline, Juniper 11" gateway. This gateway is sometimes known as pcl-ag04. and not experiencing any issues at all.
Web pages loading fine, Streaming running well and images loading fine. There was also a post earlier reporting issues with images loading so I'm interested to see if there is an isolated issue?

Hi Mark, I'm on pcl-ag04 as well and my speed last evening was down on the previous night:
Yesterday 18:53  5336 kbps (667kB/s)  377 kbps (47.1kB/s) 
Friday 20:12      6221 kbps (778kB/s)   358 kbps (44.8kB/s

[#13]

last night I had what looked/felt like DNS lookup slowness/timeouts.

[#14]

We've made some additional changes to the network config today, all being well you should be seeing improved performance this evening. We know there is still more to do and really do appreciate your patience whilst we get this sorted.
